Description

Social workers, therapists, nurses and other helping professionals regularly encounter stories and symptoms of trauma in their roles.

There is growing evidence that the impact of directly supporting others through experiences of trauma goes beyond burnout or fatigue.

The toll of witnessing intense human experiences and emotions can contribute to a negative transformation of a helper’s own sense of safety, and of being competent and purposeful.

This workshop will provide participants with the opportunity to examine their own experience and become aware of the signs of both vicarious trauma and vicarious growth.

Participants will develop a personalized plan to repair negative effects as well as accelerate their positive helper resilience.

LUNCH IS INCLUDED!
